I've cleared Nightmare and Shield rating and Absorb are by far king of the hill!

Rocking 50% shield and 52% absorb with 21% Defense with 22k HP in full Rakata gear.

They need to seriously up the benefits of Defense right now a Shield Tech BH is king of the hill for tanking Nightmares with their shielding bonuses! Assassin are rocking 26k health and higher Armor and Mitigation stats.

Arguments where?

You sayin because Shield Tech Powertech is good, Shield/Absorb Rating > Defense for Jugg?

Yes Defense is junk! Shield > Absorb > Defense When you get your full Rakata gear you should have 22k HP and >50 Shield/Absorb with 22% Defense.

DO NOT STACK DEFENSE!

Accuracy is also total garbage and not needed! HP > ALL

Show me the math. Your own posts are garbage until you explain with numbers why you think that is the case; saying "but other classes do it!" is not a good way to go about it.

Elobi's post clearly states why you would want defense, and says that indeed eventually shield rating does outweight in the long run as defense hits diminshing returns faster. That doesn't mean that you should always stack shield rating because yes however.

Exactly my thinking and I rather stack Defense....not even speccing into Shield Specc...evil me.
